I'm having same problem.
Windows 8.1 Pro x64
ATI 7750 (tried both 13.9 and 13.11 drivers)
CPU i3, 8GB ram
Sorter13 - Are you referring to the beta driver: AMD Catalyst™ 13.11 Beta Driver for Windows® ?
The most common reasons for a black screen issue are:
- Resolution: the screen and/or game screen resolution is not properly adjusted
- Graphic card drivers
- A Windows update is missing
If ever just like Mishkkaa you can launch the game win windowed mode then changing the resolution might help.
Also, if you have not tried yet, please install the Beta driver (link above - Windows 8 users).
Thanks for the help. Yes, I'm currently using the beta driver you linked. But initially was using 13.9.
I can get into windowed mode with ALT+Enter. From there I tried every resolution option, switching to Fullscreen after applying it. Same issue, black screen with sound skipping. Windows says it's all up to date.
It's in another thread here but I've tried:
- Running x86 Mode
- Both modes as Admin
- Both modes with Windows 7 Compatibility
- Disabling Origin Overlay
- Clean install 13.9 ATI Drivers

I can suggest some additional troubleshooting steps.
In Origin right-click on the game image and select properties - In the dropdown list select: Need for Speed Rivals (x86) and apply.
If changing the resolution in game does not help in resolving this issue maybe you can try to adjust the screen resolution in Windows (display settings.)

Videocard: R9-280x 3gb
Tried X86, x64
Have the latest catalyst beta drivers after it did not work with non-beta.
Attempt as admin
attempt to use several resolutions in windowed mode, pressing alt-enter results in a screen flashing between black and dark green stuttering with broken sound as if the game is running at 1-2 FPS, no matter the resolution. Going back to windowed mode, the game works great.
It would appear that all AMD card users are having the same issues.

Not quite....
I am running a GeForce GTX 650 Ti (which meets standard requirements but not recommended requirements) and when the game loads, it attempts to go full screen at which I'm presented with a windowed mode version of it. Clicking on the window then tries to attempt to go fullscreen and only breaking the windowed mode (black screen at this point). Any alt-tabbing or messages that come in or through Origin or any other client disrupts the game and crashes it. I've tried compatibility and administrator rights for both modes with no success and thought this thread might be helpful. Hopefully a resolution/solution is presented to us having these weird issues :\

I did try x86 version. Haven't tried changing Windows desktop resolution yet but will when I get home. But I would prefer to run the game at 1080p.

I have exacly the same problem, with the newest 13 beta 9.2 drivers. 7970
Black screen, alt tab works fine in window mode, clicking inside the window full screen with black screen.
Clicking only on the top of the bar to maximize it works just fine. Full Screen doesn't work for AMD. It's a game issue.
